LONDON — Canada is among the more peaceful countries in the world, but still a ways from the top, according to the Global Peace Index released Tuesday by Britain's Economist Intelligence Unit.

The index, which ranks a number of internal and external factors, found Scandinavian countries among the most peaceful, taking the top three spots.

Canada came in at No. 11, one spot ahead of Switzerland and two ahead of Sweden, which came in 13th.

That compared with Britain at 49th spot and the United States at 97, a ranking that had it behind countries such as Kuwait, Nicaragua and Libya.

This year, Iceland was selected the most peaceful place, beating last year's winner Norway, which came in third. Denmark was No. 2.

Israel, Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia and Iraq were at the bottom of the list.

^ Haha shocking

their peace will be short-lived as soon as the US finds some resource there that they consume a lot of

freezing cold climates, in the middle of nowhere or countries that can hide behind their big brothers.

Iceland is also the most developed country. They have a near 100% literacy. Definitely have to check that place out one day.

i think you'll find most developed countries have a literacy rate of 100% or very close to it.

i don't think welfare states are particularly great either. but whatever floats your boat.
